Bolivar, MO (Springfield area) · davidperez.pro · linkedin.com/in/david-p-385892142

IT leader, technical seller, and AI builder with 20+ years across regulated finance, biotech, and managed services. I have founded and sold an MSP, built a corporate IT team from one technician to six, led infrastructure rebuilds across 15 locations, and run presales for a new MSP practice. I translate complex technology into business outcomes and make sure solutions work in the field. Today I use prompt engineering and AI-assisted development to design and ship production software, including a multi-tenant quote-to-cash SaaS, and to automate IT operations.
